Freedom
Well,
in a few days I will be moving up to school.. I think thats it.. I don't see myself ever living at home again... I love my parents dearly, but they make things too difficult.. Living in the city makes it hard to get out and do very much.. they give me crap for that.. my mom thinks I'm depressed... the problem is she doesn't see me at school, where I am close to my friends, and am social.. this summer in the Soo the week I had off after camp I was out riding Laura's bike around and hanging out with my friends.. up there its so easy... down here I feel like I'm so disconnected from everything... I don't talk to anybody from high school.. my friends are from boy scouts and camp, and none of them live close, and they all have their own lives going on.. I've been working on alot of stuff for school on the computer, and mom thinks I'm just playing around and not working...
Then theres the issue of this weekend... my family has never been big into holidays... fine, whatever... Laura invited me to a football game saturday and a party with her family on sunday.. that was fine with my parents... but she is headed straight up to school after the party, so there is no easy way to get home.. I don't have a car, so they would have had to move me all the way up to the Soo (5 hour drive) and instead all i want is them to take me to grand rapids (2 hours).. they seem to view that as a huge insult, and are all upset about it..
I'm so sick of it... they've given me nothing but crap since I came home from camp... I like spending time with them, but the way they treat me sometimes makes me wish I never came home..
I guess maybe its a normal part of growing up, but its really frustrating... and Laura is upset because they keep changing things and throwing off the plan... I think she is going to come down on friday to get me... she isn't happy, but my parents have forced it to happen that way..
Things will be better once I'm out of the house. I'm sure they will. 36 hours and counting.
